1964 GMC "crustine" semi-build.

[bigblockv6]

It's a 67 305E. The crank case breather port is plugged by a Casting Plug. On Page 1 Post 3 of this build you can see a pic of the stock setup somewhat. The air cleaner has a hose that hooked to the valve cover via a cap with a hose port.

That sounds more like the 68-74 setup. The 67 305E still had the tube running from the back of the block to the air cleaner. In 68 it was capped off in the back of the block and the breather on the right side valve cover had a breather with a hose and tube to the air cleaner.

Interesting, If I remember right the original intake manifold was stamped with a 67 year. I'll have to look again.

[bigblockv6]

You can't always go by the casting date:pullinghairout:, that does give you a ballpark figure on the year, though it could have been cast in the fall of 1967 which would make it a 68. The only person that's good at figuring the year of these V6 engines is Lewis Matkin. I gave him several different engine ID numbers that were stamped not cast on the right front side of the block and he got them all correct. One of them was the block to my 478 that I had thought was a 71 but turned out to be a 68 same year as my truck:upyes:

Ah ok, I'll see if I can get some numbers. 67, 68 I don't care....I just like to say I have the engine with the extra 10 hp. LOL!

[bigblockv6]

Most likely the fact that your 305E came with the breather in the valve cover rather than the back of the block would make it a 68 unless someone prior capped off the hole in the rear of the block and changed the valve cover. Lets compare engine ID numbers, the 305E that came of my 68 is #305E 497570, get me the number off yours and I'll send it to Lewis to see what year he comes up with.

My 305E did Not come with a breather in the valve cover. I put that breather there from my 292 when I converted to a 4 barrel setup so I didn't have to drill in the air cleaner. The stock setup had a hose running from the air cleaner to cap with a hose port on the valve cover. :ok:

305E 49292I

Date stamped on the original manifold is 10-17-67 so probably a 68 like you said.

[bigblockv6]

This is what is considered a breather cap with a breather tube for the air cleaner used on 68-74 V6 engines.

Hmm, that's not it either. Best I can provide is a video. If you pause it right at 23 seconds into the vid you can see the setup mine had.

That date would definitely put it as a 68 built in the fall of 67. The breather tube attached the oil cap was definitely an add on. Someone probably tossed the original setup away. I was fortunate to still buy a new one for the 68 while parts were very plentiful for these engines. I ended up rebuilding the cap by prying off the crimped bottom part and replacing the old steel wool that is used as the filter with new steel wool then having the cap chrome plated to match the valve cover. The pic of the other breather that's black I picked up on ebay several years ago:upyes:

[TJ's GMC]

Figures. lol Well a buddy of mine has that old setup on his now. I will figure a better PCV system soon. This one tend to throw some oil. lol Not a lot, but enough to have to wipe off the one valve cover.

[TJ's GMC]

Well Crustine's Christmas present arrived a few days ago. :upyes:

[Funky61]

Hang them on the tree before you put them on Crustine!

[kchampagne]

They are sweet!!!

[bigblockv6]

What ever you do, please don't use that bowtie air breather on those GMC valve covers:pullinghairout::ahhhh: It just won't look right:aarrgh::lolsmack:

[TJ's GMC]

They be a little heavy! haha!

Well ya'all wanna talk about weather? lol! We got Snow! And boy we got it! Crustine's one wheel peel may have to be fixed with an Eaton posi! lol!

[Ed Snyder]

Well ya'all wanna talk about weather? lol! We got Snow! And boy we got it!!

We got it too, TJ. After 25 years in the mountains 15 miles from town where 12" to 15" snowfalls were common, we moved down close to Medford a year ago. Some years Medford doesn't even get snow. When it does, it's only an inch or two at the most. Last night we got a foot of snow -- the most since 1919!

My photos are similar to yours.

[jturk]

Yep, looks like you folks got hit pretty hard out there in Oregon. That's a fairly typical snow here in Ohio. We usually get 1 or 2 12+ inch snows every year. Have fun digging out!!!

[TJ's GMC]

Ed, looks like Medford got it good to! You able to still get Up your driveway?

JT, Yeah, I have shoveled the driveway 5 times....looking forward to not having to now. haha

[Jmclendon]

Can y'all send some of that cold weather over my way? LOL

I'm sure I'd change my tune pretty quickly if I was living in it again. But, there are times where I really miss the snow.

[Ed Snyder]

Ed, looks like Medford got it good too! You able to still get Up your driveway?


Our driveway here near Medford is a piece of cake compared to the driveway we endured for 25 years at our old place, Tom. That driveway was 2/3 mile long and gained 400' in elevation from the paved road up to our house. The worst part was a hairpin curve at the top of a section with a 25% slope. I lost traction many times over the years in the middle of that hairpin going uphill in the snow. Going downhill in the snow was even worse -- came close to going over the edge more than once, sliding on the packed snow.

One of my former co-workers came out one time in the summer for a department picnic and never came back. She called it the "driveway from heck"! One time we had a guy in a service van try to come up the driveway. Near the top of the steepest part he lost momentum, started spinning his rear wheels, put on the brakes, and started sliding backwards down the hill. And this was in the summertime. He evidently freaked out due to gaining speed backwards, cranked the wheel to put the rear of van into the uphill side of the slope instead of risking going over the edge on the downhill side. This promptly rolled the van over onto its side. That was an interesting extraction challenge for the wrecker that came out to rescue him!

Then there was the time I jackknifed a trailer going downhill at the hairpin....

You did have one heck of a driveway.
But you also had one heck of a view. A lot of people would put up with such a driveway just for that view.

Ed, that old driveway of yours was definitely meant for a 4wd. I remember back in 2004 you warned me about it sine I was driving my Trans Am up it, it was already springtime but traction could have been a problem because the dirt was loose, I made it up ok though:lol:

[Ed Snyder]

Ed, that old driveway of yours was definitely meant for a 4wd.

Pete -- during our 25 years there, our daily drivers were always 4WD vehicles and had 4 studded tires on them during the winter. I hate tire chains, so would shovel two tracks all the way down the driveway whenever it would snow more than a few inches. About 10 years ago I finally broke down and bought a Honda snowblower with tracks. Two cleared tracks + 4WD + studded tires usually got us up and down OK.

One of the first things I did after moving down off the mountain a year ago was sell the snowblower. Could have used it yesterday though!

Yeah, we really miss that view, David. Here's a photo of it looking due south for anyone curious. The high point in the background is Dutchman Peak in the Siskiyou Mountain range, just north of the California border.

[RustyNut]

Ed,

I guess I forgot about the driveway. Wasn't THAT bad..... when your driving a rental that you could care less about.......

[TJ's GMC]

Hey guys, well Crustine has been leaking oil at the filter for quite some time; today while at the shop I changed the oil and noticed the leak was Really bad. Steady drip from the filter this time. Come to find out the leak was from the sending unit, it wasn't leaking at the Threads, but it was pushing through the unit and out the top.
Just wanted to say Napa does have these sending units for $11. Here is the part number if someone wants to document it. # OP6619

By the way...no leak now! lol

[TJ's GMC]

Well, driving Crustine 24/7 has been nothing but awesome. She's been running like a top.

So to keep a long story short the new pressure plate springs took their toll on the old clutch bell crank and almost snapped one of the crank rods. lol Was in the middle of town last Thursday evening and went to stop....had no clutch....pulled into the gas station and it was to dark to see what was wrong so I limped home in 3rd gear. Friday morning I looked under and found the bell crank rod bent and that one of the welds broke. Pretty poor welding from the factory! :banghead: Anyhow, snapped a picture that I'll upload in the morning.

Today in the wee hours of the morning I pulled the bell crank and re-welded the rod back in place after bending it back. Now we have some throw! Never has that truck shifted smoother since I have owned it.

Well, another bug fixed. :upyes:

[TJ's GMC]

Pictures as promised. Doesn't look as bad as it really was in the picture. lol

[WDShaffer]

Wow! A bell crank...my clutch actuator was (will be again) hydraulic...I thought I was buying a dual master cylinder brake setup, until I followed the second reservoir line over to the clutch arm.

Your repair looks very solid.

Yeah, being as I had to remove the trans bolts and jack the rear of the motor up so I could get the bell crank out....I figured I'd really turn the welding heat up and stack up those welds. Shouldn't have any problems for another 50 years. lol

[DKGMC64]

Great progress on your GMC ,Great Looking Truck.

[TJ's GMC]

Great progress on your GMC ,Great Looking Truck.

Thanks!

[TJ's GMC]

Hey guys! Well a member from a different forum named Ryan gave me this 1962 305D. Free and even delivered free! Came complete from a/f to oil pan minus the starter. Ran when he pulled it and it's been in the garage sitting ever since. Not quite sure what I'm gonna do with this engine, but I'll figure out something. Might go with some boost on this one in the future.

[TJ's GMC]

Well today I changed the oil in Crustine. Went with 20w-50 and power punch additive. Also had to have a little fun.

0-55 MPH in 17 seconds. lol

Well yesterday was the local car show. Ed and I met at the local gas station and then caravanned to the show. Little later John with the Studebaker showed up.
Due to high temps....round 105+ the show was not all the successful this year, but it was still great to be with friends. :thumbsup:

[TJ's GMC]

Well Crustine's 600 eddy is really hating this hot weather. Engine has been running a little above norm, but that's to be expected in 110 degree weather. Right now there's a huge flat spot off idle and the carb is starting to load the engine up and nasal leak like mad. SO, between a jet down kit and a carb rebuild kit I was at half the cost of a 500 cfm 1404 so I bit the bullet and decided to down grade. Been wanting to go smaller as I like the size of the primaries much better on the 500. The new carb should be here on Thursday and I'll finally be installing a pressure regulator. That was part of my problem is to much fuel pump pressure. Should see a bit more gas mileage and less nasal leakage now. Also gonna replace fuel filters and check the lines. Will update on the progress.

[TJ's GMC]

New carb and pressure regulator are on, engine runs smoother now. Does need the secondaries jetted down and probably one step down again on the primaries. No flat spots and smooth acceleration now. Will get some pictures and footage soon. Have to put a new fuel psi gauge on there cause the one on there is junk. :teehee:

[TJ's GMC]

Regulator set to 5.5 psi hot....runs good! No more cranking over for 5 minutes when it's 100 degrees out.

[TJ's GMC]

Put new front shocks on this truck a couple weeks ago...all I can say is....Man...these were the best bang for the buck yet.

KYB Monomax shocks:

These shocks make it feel like a SBC is up front rather than a 900 pound beast. lol Going over bumps and uneven back roads has been much nicer....doesn't have a dang rocking chair affect for miles after one bump.

[TJ's GMC]

Took some shots of Crustine today. 1st cold start of the new year. And 1st long over due bath of the year. :teehee:

Glad to see Crustine over here too TJ.:crazyyippee::blink:

[TJ's GMC]

With my new job being 30 miles away and 10 hours a day....Crustine is now an evening/weekend driver. Man do I miss driving the old truck every day of the week, but I was in major need of a job change as well. Super happy with the new one by the way(and the paychecks. :teehee:).
Anyhow...the seat cover that was given to me as a gift about 3 years ago was just to torn up to be on the seat any longer. Found this one and it arrived today. Have to say I am pleased with the quality of it.

[FetchMeAPepsi]

Looks good TJ! Is that pockets in the front? Our trucks could sure use some more storage for pens and such.

Been awhile since an update about Crustine again. Well she is still at home and I've moved away. About 3 months ago I moved 260 miles north to work at Union Pacific railroad. Been driving locomotives and playing with 11,000+ cubic inch v12's and v16's. Cool stuff....and nothing sounds as good as an EMD! lol
Anyhow....so the start of a career has taken me away from my two trucks, but I'm working on getting Crustine up here pretty soon.

[Funky61]

Well at least Crustine's not lonesome and has some company!
Congratulations on the Job and New opportunities TJ. :upyes::thumbsup:

EMD stands for Electro-motive diesel.
Thanks! It pays decent as of now....better pay in the future for sure. Can be stressful and I'm out in sucky weather alot right now. But a good career none the less.

[TJ's GMC]

Been awhile since my last post on here. Life has been absolutely Nuts. Work at the railroad was great till 4000+ of us got laid off due to b.s. politics and the "know it alls." Anyhow! Enjoyed almost a full year then and gained alot of experience and a few good buddies as well. Luckily Crustine never made it all the way up there and I didn't have to worry about getting her back Down. Good to be back with her though.....and acquired a nice 99 dodge with a cummins while I was up there. Been enjoying the 18-21 mpg's out of a 3/4 ton truck ever since! :thumbsup:

Nothing to update on Crustine other than she's been the best dern truck I've ever owned and I finally fixed the emergency brake after years of owning it. Still purrs away everyday but it's time for some more love to go into that truck.
Needs alot of mechanical redone as I've driven it the way it is for a few years. SO.....soon as I get the 66 chev done with it's resto Crustine is next for a project plan. I'm not positive what's gonna happen, but I'm thinking of getting an 89-93 Dodge W250 single cab and body swapping so I can have 4wd and diesel power. I know I'll then be a heathen to the group, but you can guarantee the v6 will find a home in another truck of the future.

Anyhow....long post so I'll catch up with yall later.

[tbucketnut]

Sorry to here of the misfortune of getting laid off. Wishing you all the best with some good luck through the holiday season. Keep in touch.

After some 5 years of owning this truck I finally spent a whole 6 dollors and fixed my cig lighter. Bought a universal from Napa and was able to utilize the stock harness. Been able to charge my phone and whatever else now. Now to make a phone mount for gps advantages. :thumbsup:

[tbucketnut]

Check your wiring looks like the old element got really hot, hate to see Crustine burn up.

I did double check the harness, by the looks of the old setup I think someone put the cig lighter back in to far and melted it.

[TJ's GMC]

Well a bit has happened since my last update. I just got done redoing all the brakes. Did wheel cylinders, hoses, springs, pads, and drums. Old brakes were shot. Also did a new booster and master cylinder. Finally put on these bumper guards I bought for the truck a few years ago and forgot I had. Also long overdue but I got a spare valve cover painted so I could run a pcv setup as well.

Thanks!
Dadgum TJ that paint looks goooooood!

Thanks! Yeah the green is a nice color and different but actually seems fitting haha If I ever restore the truck then I'll go back to red I think as I have chrome valve covers to use at some point.

[TJ's GMC]

Couple more updates. Finally installed my wiper delay switch and I will say that's a must have for sure! Also installed the newly painted valve cover and am gonna order a breather to use for the pcv setup. More parts showing up today so hopefully I'll have some updates.

[TJ's GMC]

Well some parts for my 66 chevy and this truck showed up today. Just ordered some arm rests for now to add some comforts and it's a neat option to have. Ordered an Ash tray and a choke cable to match the factory knobs. Looking for the heater control assembly if anyone has a source.

[Prowbar]

Looking good! Have watched all your videos on Crustine on Youtube to convince myself I needed one too! Thanks a bunch!
